Silver Peak: Never A Ghost Town recounts the lives of the people who lived in this small mining community. As with many towns tied to mining, it has suffered the booms and busts that are inherent in the industry, but the difference with Silver Peak is that it has weathered them all and stood its ground in the desert. This combination of sources provides a vast array of information on Silver Peak and addresses some of the following questions: Why did Silver Peak survive when other Nevada mining towns did not? What role was played by investors, individuals, families, and advances in technology? How was Silver Peak alike or different from other mining communities? Two publications have resulted from this project: a research volume containing the oral histories that was published by the UNOHP in 2000, entitled Silver Peak: At Work, At Play, and At Home, and this book, Silver Peak: Never a Ghost Town.
